Isnt MGS4 360 bound ?

As said not wishing to start a war but as the average man here your list suprises me - very few of those I have heard of

No, announced as a PS3 exclusive.

Konami have hinted that it will have to go multiformat if Sony don't do something to increase PS3 sales.

I note that Konami only comment on the paucity of the US price drop. What about the non-existent European one?

That was the speculation before E3 though (check date of the article), where Kojama has now stated its gonna stay exclusive.

Its possible sometime down the line of course depending on the situation but it will be a long long wait I expect if so, which hardly makes it worthwhile. Plus, with Kojama stating that he wants to use more than a DVD storage worth of gigs on the sound alone it may well either have to be a chopped down version or a multi disc one for the 360.

Unlikely I would say.

Personally I reckon MGS4 is gonna shift a lot of PS3's, as is the software line up for the last quarter of this year.

Did some updating of the release list on the sticky thread, and have decided that my relatives and friends are going to have to do with small pieces of fruit and decorations made from twigs for Christmas...

Even without me owning a PS3 or gaming PC, the four months leading up to Christmas is obscene:

24/08/07 Bioshock
24/08/07 Blue Dragon
31/08/07 Stuntman Ignition
07/09/07 Stranglehold
28/09/07 Halo 3
12/10/07 Half Life 2 Orange Box
19/10/07 Eternal Sonata
19/10/07 Grand Theft Auto 4
26/10/07 The Legend of Zelda – Phantom Hourglass
02/11/07ish Project Gotham Racing 4
23/11/07 Mass Effect

The ones in bold are must haves, the rest somewhat negotiable, but still... gaaaaah!

Someone want to get some game swapping agreements going?

Yeah I am going to be well and truly screwed money wise.

My almost certain purchases for the rest of the year are going to look like this-

Multi format-

GTA 4
Assassins Creed
Half Life 2 Orange Box


360-

Mass Effect
Bioshock
Halo 3


PS3-

Lair
Heavenly Sword
Uncharted: Drakes Fortune
Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction
Haze

DS-

Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

Thats hundreds of pounds worth there and thats omitting plenty of other stuff I will consider too like Folklore, Stranglehold, Blue Dragon, Warhawk, Unreal Tourney 3 etc...


NIGHTMARE! (but wonderful)Posted Image

Unreal Tourney would be a must buy if I had a PS3 - they're doing the tools for user generated mods and levels (MS refusing to allow them to do that was why the 360 version was canned), and Unreal Tounrney 2k3 was awesome.

Its got more of a single player element to complement the multiplayer too from what I have read. Looks fabulous graphically from the movies I have seen so yep, it may well be upgraded to certain purchase.

Probably buy the USB keyboard and mouse for this.

I think I've got the list down to 8:

(more *'s means more desire)

Bioshock - I know nothing about this, other than it's got water in it, and supposedly very interesting, and is on everyone's must have list. Oh well. *

Blue Dragon - Review scores I've seen so far have gone mental for this, it's a JapRPG, and would be a nice cartoonier distraction from the more realistic stuff I'll be playing. **

Stuntman Ignition - Demo wasn't as good as it should be, but it tap dances on the part of my brain that requires me to perfect every level. Just... one... more... go... ***

Stranglehold - Pure action. Next gen Max Payne. Nuff said. *

Halo 3 - It's not for the multiplayer. ***

GTA4 - ****

Mass Effect - In my opinion, the MUST own game of this year. ***** ****** ***** ***** ***** ****** ****** ****** *****

And the worst thing is that the girlfriend will claim that there's no need for me to buy all these games at once...

Mine is much the same

However think ill hold on Blue Dragon and Stuntman til they reach 17.99 at Play

Bioshock and Mass Effect are must buys

Would add COD4, Half Life 2 and either PES or Fifa depending on which is better

I've got most of the games on Jocky's list on my own list - just take out Stuntman and Blue Dragon. I've also become more interested in Haze, Assassin's Creed and Uncharted - Drake's Fortune, and for some reason Super Paper Mario is whispering "buy me" in my ear. I might get Heavenly Sword too, but it looks a bit of a one-trick pony to me.

A couple of months ago I thought so too, as though it would be just a dynasty warriors type game with the odd bit of God of War context button press thrown in.

But the latest previews and footage show much more variety such as defending areas using projectile weapons, a new stealthier character who plays completely differently, a bit of exploration and a pretty deep storyline as well. Really hope it fulfils its promise cos I love these type of games.

Glad to see someone else is interested in Uncharted. Download the trailer off the PSN store in all its Hi Def glory- its absolutely stunning in my opinion. Lush palette, fabulously textured and animated. Kind of like a Flashback, Killswitch, Pitfall and Tomb Raider goodie bag! :D

Is Call of Duty 4 this year?




Just checked, and yes it is, which is really annoying, because I've just seen that for the first time and it looks amaaaazing.

BASTARDS.

I've just realised that The Settlers (or rather a remake of Settlers II with a slight name change) is out on DS soon. Game has it down for this Friday, but other etailers say it's out in September. I loved the original game on the Amiga, so this is a definite purchase for me.

Oh, and add Timeshift to my list of potential purchases too.

Bioshock apparently gets a 10 out of 10 in the official Xbox360 mag.
